How to increase search result relevance using Te Reo Māori terms

The Crown recently published Maihi Karauna - The Crown's Strategy for Māori Language Revitalisation 2019-2023 by Te Puni Kōkiri. This ambitious strategic vision is to have te reo "Everywhere, Every Way, Everyone, Every Day".

The importance of te reo Māori will continue to grow in New Zealand, as will the need to search and find relevant information using te reo Māori terms.

Syl Search and Te Reo Māori

Unlike other search engines, Syl has unique customisable semantic search features. Our Syl Language tools can incorporate te reo Māori terms, concepts, and relationships that are important to your organisation.

While most Search solutions can provide full text search and synonyms, Syl Language allows you to build and use semantic relationships to increase search relevancy. By relating te reo Māori terms to English and with other te reo Māori terms, Syl can present much more relevant search results. 

Semantic relationships is one of the tools that can help deliver relevant search results using both te reo Māori and English terms. Contact Syl for more details.
